I saw these guys 3x in the span of 4.5 years 81-86. The first time I saw them in 81, they opened for ZZ Top...in Texas...a tough order for anyone. They had their first hit...this one...and nothing else. The crowd was there for the Top and these guys heard that. My hometown was brutal to openers. Next time I saw them (summer of 82) they were the 4th band in a five band show in the Kingdome in Seattle. Opener was Bryan Adams (a last-minute addition...a newcomer at the time), Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Blue Öyster Cult, Loverboy, and headlining was Foreigner. They rocked the freakin' house that day. Guitarist wailed. Third time in January 86 was a lark. My buddy & I had just completed almost 2 years of training in the Navy and were on a month-long leave. We had driven all night from our duty station in Idaho and rolled into my hometown about noon. On the way in, we heard on the radio they were playing that night, so we went. They were the headliner that time, but I gotta tell ya, I don't really remember too much about that show...my buddy & I were turning it loose after almost 2 years! 😂😂😂

You were asking about when the hair metal bands started to emerge. Hair metal was around even a little before the 80's, it just hadn't caught on nationwide yet. As far as the bands. Well Loverboy here came out right in 1980. That's when the album for this song Turn Me Loose was released. Bon jovi's first single was released in 1980 titled "Little Runaway", and Motley Crue dropped their first album in 1980 titled Too Fast For Love". Their major song "Livewire" from that album is a Killer! The video is too awesome! Wait until you watch that one. Good reaction. 🎼🎵🎵

@@erickent3557 I never said that Loverboy was a hair band, just stating that they came out in 1980. However, there were several bands with long hair in the 80's metal scene that didn't consider themselves hair metal. A typical band was Metallica. I saw them in an interview once and they said: "There are a lot of bands out here with long hair, but we don't all consider ourselves hair bands, and we are one of the ones who don't see ourselves as a hair metal band".

Came back from a little fishing to find more Canadian content on your channel. Mike Reno is singing. A lot of times you find a video that says live but it has the studio version dubbed over it, this is definitely not the studio version. In almost all cases I prefer a live performance, this is a good example why. Loverboy was pretty big here in Canada and had a lot of hits. Mike Reno even teamed up with Ann Wilson for a song called Almost Paradise. Keep uncovering our Canadian talent and give them the exposure they deserve.
